The Purpose of this group is for women to come together in a spirit of conviviality to discuss our interests and connect with someone who lives both close-by and in areas where there may be a fun place/activity to visit.
Activities like going on a walk, movies, sailing/boating, attend a class, knit/craft/play cards/work-out together.
There are those time when we care to attend or participate in an activity and our otherwise friends, or close relationships, are not available. The intention of this group is to connect with others in our neighborhood, or somewhat within proximity of your home, with similar interests.
Who should join? Do you find yourself at times asking friends or loved ones to go on a walk or take a class, only to find they have other commitments?
Then this group is for you. Come meet and greet, connect and plan on getting together at a later possible date for your mutually agreed shared interests.
This group is for those, that feel at times, they'd care for company to go for a walk, movie or other activity such that, perhaps an acquaintances eventually will become a friend.
Event: The first city I've started this Meetup is Stamford, CT (where I live).
https://www.meetup.com/stamford-greenwich-womens-social-meetup-group/
I'm adding on other towns due to taking classes, and sailing, throughout Connecticut and New York. You'll find Meetup dates in your town on the Stamford/Greenwich page.
As women in communities other than Stamford/Greenwich join, I will add on more Meetups in your area.
To begin, once a month we'll meet at the Ponus Yacht Club. Have some refreshments &/or dinner and discuss our interests to explore others who are liked minded in interests. This is a night out. As interest arises, we can add on other activities. At first, I am considering leading some "ice-breaker" nights with themed evenings. The day of the monthly meeting is TBA.
COVID POLICY: Your participation is this Meetup is a personal choice. Personally, I try my best to abide by the latest mandate of the State of CT/NY and in general the CDC guidlines. Often, I take my cue from the establishment to which I am visiting, such as a restaurant or museum.
Members are required to uphold the laws, abide by the latest cdc mandates and be of good conscious, be considerate, of fellow Meetup members.
That said, If you feel uncomfortable or are afraid of contacting covid (variant), then please rethink attending these meetings.
Because, even for planned walks outside, I may not know ahead of time that there may be a passage way or an indoor restroom facility where you'll be walking by an unmasked person &/or closer than 6 feet at any given time.
Even outdoor seating at the Ponus Yacht Club requires walking through a closed area of the restaurant.
These are challenging times, I am a volunteer trying to pull together women in local neighborhoods (preferrably at any one time just small groups). I cannot control other people's behavior, the pandemic nor the establishments where event are planned. Please only participate in events that suit your comfort zone.
